A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I went searching for something today and instinctually clicked on a reddit link. Fortunately the sub was dark for the protest anyway, but it's crazy how ingrained in me it is to go to reddit for everything.

Unfortunately now we're going to have to get used to clicking on those clickbait tech articles like "TOP 10 FACEBOOK ALTERNATIVES 2023" to find information, and weed out the crappy blogs.

I am the only user on my instance, and it's a true pain in the neck. IMHO you should be able to add other instances in the UI, and then community lists should be exchanged by these instances automatically, so that I don't have to do the URL-copy dance every time.

Yea, if you're selfhosted you would want to be able to turn on a flag that auto-pulls any request you make at high priority. I assume there's a way to force it that could be scripted, but I haven't read the documentation.

I can understand a server with thousands of users needing to put things in a queue to be fetched and it can take some time to work itself out
